Sequencing Studies Take on Lung Cancer

September 14, 2012 | Three sequencing studies published this week take on lung cancer, laying the groundwork for more effective personalized treatment. The studies looked at a combined 361 patients with different types of lung cancers and an additional 17 tumors. “For the first time, instead of looking through a keyhole we are getting a penthouse panoramic view,” says Ramaswamy Govindan, an oncologist at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, and an author of two of the studies.
